(1888PressRelease)
April 09, 2008 - Houston, TX - Readers agree that The Shamrock and The Feather is an enchanting story of love, mystery and traditions. It is a captivating plot about Geneva Becker, a successful landscape photographer, who gets drawn into a complex web of past lives and astral travel. A chain of events is set in motion that encourages Geneva, and the reader, to question whether the decisions we make every day are our own choice, or a Master Plan that guides us to what will be our destiny.
The story centers around Geneva who, while coping with the aftermath of losing loved ones, is bewildered by the apparent lack of control she has over her feelings surrounding the many changes that are taking place in her life. She has come to an understanding that there is a higher purpose surrounding a clay bowl (chalice) that was passed down to her by her mother. The chalice becomes the key that ties Geneva’s present life to a fated past that began centuries ago. She finds herself battling with an obsessive opponent who has realized the colossal powers of the chalice and who fights to gain control of it.
With the help of her offbeat friend Victoria, she embarks upon a mystical journey of epic proportions when she comes to the realization she is a “ chosen ” one and, feeling the pressure of the responsibility passed down to her by her ancestors, strives to solve the mystery surrounding the chalice and the secrets it holds. She finds herself inexplicably drawn into the past, to a life as a Celtic priestess, and feels a parallel drawn with her own present day life. After questioning her own past relationships and some of the extraordinary things she has experienced in her lifetime, she eventually acknowledges this responsibility and ultimately travels to Ireland to finish what was started by her ancestors centuries ago, encountering dangers along the way that she never dreamed possible.
The Shamrock and The Feather is a premiere novel from an outstanding new author, Dori Dalton, who inherited her gift of story-telling from her German-Celtic parents. Ms. Dalton resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her husband, an acclaimed jazz pianist, who produced the haunting music that accompanies the book on a CD. Santa Fe provides the perfect backdrop of culture and mysticism to help feed her passion for people, folklore, and sacred sites, and the beautiful music links the reader with all the incredible places visited in the book. The combination results in what one reader describes as, “ A spiritual journey back in time for the adventure of a lifetime.” For more information visit www.crossquarter.com or www.doridalton.com.
